MR. GREGORY: A couple of minutes left. I do want to ask you about politics and the re-election campaign for 2012. You'll be chief of staff presiding over that campaign. Is the president moving to the center to win re-election?
MR. DALEY: No, the president doesn't look at--this is a guy who does not look at politics in left, center, whatever. He really doesn't. I--he looks at things, deals with the problem right in front of him. And I've never participated in, even back when I was co-chair of his campaign in Illinois, discussions that were around that.

Yep, the president's no ideologue; just a pragmatic, bold leader.
